Summer League National Championship results are in!

SFST placed 9th out of 30 teams that submitted results. There were over 150 teams that initially registered for this virtual meet. Thanks Coach Erin for working with Swimmingly to get our results entered.

The top ten teams we competed with were from – CA, CO, MI, NV, NC, SC, 2 from British Columbia and one called Blue Wave (not sure where - there are several across the country). Maybe not huge participation, but pretty cool, right?!
